MLX90817LXE-DBG-013-SP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MLX90817LXE-DBG-013-SP is a packaged, factory-calibrated integrated absolute pressure sensor designed for non-harsh media applications. It delivers a ratiometric analog voltage output ranging from 200 mV to 4.8 V across an absolute pressure range of 0.1 to 1.15 bar (10 kPa to 115 kPa). The device operates on a supply voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V with a typical current consumption of 8.5 mA. It features a 16-bit resolution and ±1.25% accuracy. The sensor is housed in a 14-BFDFN package with exposed pads, suitable for surface mount installation.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Integrates MEMS sensing element, analog front-end, 16-bit microcontroller, and voltage regulator on a single system-on-chip.
• Provides ratiometric analog voltage output that scales directly with the supply voltage.
• Factory calibrated for high accuracy and includes on-chip temperature compensation.
• Designed for board mounting with no physical ports, suitable for sealed or non-harsh environments.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• HVAC systems monitoring
• Industrial process control
• Medical equipment gas pressure measurement

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DBG-013' to confirm the 0.1 to 1.15 bar pressure range and 200 mV to 4.8 V output span, as Melexis uses suffix codes to define these electrical parameters. Ensure the application environment is free of corrosive media, condensation, or particulates, as this sensor lacks protective ports or membranes for harsh conditions. Confirm the 14-BFDFN footprint matches the PCB design for proper thermal and electrical connection via exposed pads.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a ratiometric analog interface is required rather than digital protocols like I2C or SENT. It is appropriate for applications needing moderate accuracy (±1.25%) within a low-pressure range up to 1.15 bar. Consider the 14-BFDFN package size and SMT assembly requirements during layout. This model is distinct from the MLX90818 series, which offers digital SENT outputs and higher pressure ranges.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This part belongs to the MLX90817 family of absolute pressure sensors from Melexis. The family utilizes Triaxis technology for robust performance. The MLX90817 series generally covers various pressure ranges and output types, with the LXE variant indicating a specific package and calibration configuration. It serves as a cost-effective solution for general-purpose pressure monitoring where analog simplicity is preferred.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

MLX90817LXE-DBH-008-RE: Offers a different pressure range (0.1 to 1.15 bar) but may have different output characteristics; verify datasheet specifics. MLX90817LXE-DBG-003-RE: Similar package but potentially different pressure span or calibration; check official substitution lists. Direct pin-to-pin replacements must be verified against the specific suffix-defined parameters in the manufacturer's documentation.

Pressure Sensors Transducers FAQ

Is the MLX90817LXE-DBG-013-SP suitable for measuring aggressive gases?

No, it is designed for non-harsh media. The lack of a physical port means it cannot handle liquids, corrosive gases, or particulate-laden environments without external protection.

What is the output type of this sensor?

It provides a ratiometric analog voltage output, meaning the signal amplitude varies proportionally with the supply voltage.
